Elon is the gift that keeps on giving. He's decided that because it's Friday, we should all have a pile in.

On a less scornful and more serious note. If he could get a working prototype up, it would be a good thing. Though I suspect that he along with all the other stupidly rich people would go out of their way to vote against providing parachute policies for the economy such as UBI for all the displaced employees.

Robots? From the guy that get automatic wipers to work? Every other car maker has automatic windshield wipers that work better than this genius’s version. He can’t even invent things that already exist.

Everything will go great until in the middle of another drug-induced 3 am tweetstorm he announces the robots must be made of adamantium and use bubblegum as sensors to save money.

Tesla automatic wipers work every time there is rain. Or if it's night and there are overhead street lights.

No, no they don’t.
